The presence of the accused is mandatory at each and every step of the trial but in some cases when the examination-in-chief is going on the accused is usually directed to sit outside the court. Nowadays video conferencing is enough to mark the physical presence of the accused person.

VC is allowed only if the court has the VC facilitu
